good luck jandarke. I am hunter school of nursing 2007. I loved it there and i still do. have fun~ study hard~

Hunter College offers one of the best nursing education in New York. It may be hard to get into the program since it is very competitive. I am not quiet sure about the exact number of applicants but I heard a few hundreds to almost thousand for undergrad BSN program. However, once you are in the program, you are going to love it. Faculty at Hunter School of Nursing are excellent and very knowledgeable. You also get the opportunity to do your clinicals at the most prestigious hospitals in Manhattahn. NYP-Columbia & Cornell, Lenox Hill, St. Vincent's, Mount Sinai, NYU Medical Center, Bellevue, VA, etc. etc. Hope that answers your question.

Hello all, I'm scheduled to take my NCLEX on Tues. 7/1/08 and I am very nervous at this moment. My Kaplan question trainer scores are not satisfying me and I am worried. QT1- 61 QT2- 72 QT3- 54 QT4- 65 QT5- 66 QT6- 66 I haven't really studied meds. I studied with saunders 4th ed. and read those meds chapters but other than that i didn't STUDY for meds. Do you think I should study for them before I take this exam? Some people are telling me to know the "general" facts about meds rather than spending so much time studying for so many meds. I feel like it's safer for me to study them but it is absolutely overwhelming. Should I reschedule my exam date and study more? How does one prepare for SATA questions? I'm not good at them. People who passed with 75-100 questions, would you kindly share how you studied and prepared for NCLEX? how to study for meds, SATA, priority, etc. Your honest opinions are appreciated! :heartbeat

hey lubhim, can you kindly share with us how you prepared for your exam? sources that you used? thank you

Thank you so much everyone. Really encouraged me alot and made me feel better. This is a wonderful forum. I am going to study so hard and pass the 2nd time. Thank you again.

I took my NCLEX for the first time a few days ago and found out yesterday that I had failed. I got 75 questions and I walked out of there numb. I stayed positive though because I did well in nursing school and I prayed for this ever since last winter. I am so heartbroken right now. I've never faced such "failure" before. I got accepted into one of the most competitive nursing schools in New York and graduated with honors. I am discouraged and hurt. I don't even know if this is the path that God wants me to walk on anymore. I don't understand how this all happened. I can't stop crying... I guess I did not study hard enough for this exam. I took the KAPLAN course and actually just depended on it. I did not use other sources. I have a MOSBY's review book at home that I used while I was in nursing school and looked through it once in a while. I thought KAPLAN alone was enough because many of my colleagues told me that the Q-Bank questions were good enough. I am trying very hard at this moment to be optimistic and put myself back together and start studying again but it is indeed difficult after looking at NSCBN's passing rate for repeat test-takers. I would really appreciate some words of wisdom or success story after a storm, etc. from other students and nurses. Advice on what I should do now. How I can start all over. Where to start. How to figure out what was it that I did wrong. Thank you for listening.

Hello nurse practitioners~ I am thinking about going to grad. school next year to become a NP and I was wondering if I could get some realistic information regarding the career. Honestly, I am uncertain if this is the right choice. Medical school is very tempting these days but I am not sure if I want to switch to "medicine". I am one of those nurses who love & fully respect the philosophy and theories of nursing but want to be more autonomous and have the responsibility and ability to treat my patients' physical symptoms as well. I would love to hear from you how your typical day is like at work. i.e. how you collaborate with other healthcare professionals, how many pts. you see each day, if the day is more tiring than being a bedside nurse, salary and benefits, working hours, Pros and Cons of the job, etc. Any tips/info/advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
